K3 : toggle between two powers ?

[William Carver]

"I'd like to see the power level remembered between the two antenna
ports.
That way you can connect your amplifier to one port and always have the
power set for the correct amp drive......Phil - AD5X "

GOOD IDEA.

Already part of the K3.   Turn the K3 upside-down.  The RJ-11 is located on
the bottom-right side of the transceiver.  Simply plug the phone line into
it and caller-ID displays right above the S meter.

I had a fleeting thought that someone would take my comment seriously.
Please do not connect your telco line into the K3's RJ-11 jack.  An active
phone line carries -48V battery and ~ 90VAC/20 Hz ring voltage that can, and
probably will, damage the K3.

End of disclaimer.

Thank you, Dick

Programming was not what I intended to learn.
Now the quickest way goes like this:

=Open Elecraft K3 Utility
=open Edit / Command tester Macros
=Type for Macro 1 - Text to send - pc005; (do not forget semicolon)
=Type for Macro 2 - Text to send - pc100;
=Save

Now it is easy to toggle by clicking Macro 1 or 2 between 5 and 100W.

= Hide Utility to PC low-edge command-line.
This way it is ready for rapid action, and screen is normally free.

Sorry to reply to a 10 day old post. I've been on holiday. But I thought I should mention that this is just the kind of thing the "Shortcuts" in KComm were intended to achieve. Each shortcut is essentially a macro of K3 control commands that is sent when the entry is double-clicked. I have shortcuts for all the power levels I use. But if you wanted you could label them for modes and have them send a mode change as well as a power level.
